The Dogwood Summer Youth Theater will present “A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream” on July 28 and 29 at 7:30 p.m. both evenings. The Dogwood Summer Youth Theater is directed again this summer by Chelsea Webb and involves area youth in all facets of the production.

“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is a comedy written by William Shakespeare. It portrays the events surrounding the adventures of characters who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The play is one of Shakespeare’s most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world.

The production has 32 Newaygo County youth participating in the show. This program is funded in part by the Fremont Area Community Foundation and Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs.
